Chateau Grief 13

Xander: How is she tonight?

Thought(Grant): Like you've suddenly forgotten how to see through walls. I wish you wouldn't pretend to be all nice and innocent around the staff.

Telepathy(Xander):??? What are you whining about?

Thought(Grant): You should treat them like adults! I know you're forcing them not to notice your telepathy.

Telepathy(Xander): Yeah, well, this is what happens when I stop.

Beverly: I...erm...eeeeeehhhh..don't kill me, my lord!

Telepathy(Xander): Gets annoying.

Thought(Grant): I really need to have a better program for preparing people for these jobs.

Chalkboard: Eynhallow Palace Job Orientation 1. The natural rights and dignity of all mankind. 2. Equality

Xander: Hiss.

Thought(Grant):Saints preserve us.

Telepathy(Xander): Do you mind?

Xander: Well, Swordfish?

Swordfish: She's still unconscious.

Swordfish: We haven't been able to get her to drink any of the gruel, although beverly and I have given it our utmost attention.

Swordfish: It's often best to let the patient awaken on their own.

Thought(Grant): Why can't you open a door like a normal person

Telepathy(Xander): I don't know? Germs?

Thought(Grant): That's the second time tonight! What is that? Is it dangerous? What have you done to her? Why couldn't you just rescue them and then all of this would never have happened!

Xander: Come on, Rhelan. If you want to see, come and look.

Grant: What? What am I looking for? I'm supposed to be surprised that you didn't shave her head?

Xander: Will you just shut up and stop being such a total killjoy?

Author Notes:

doesn't want to get fingerprints on the doorknob.

Episode Recap:

The maid answers the door when Xander knocks. Grant starts arguing for Xander to treat people better, but it doesn’t work, and the maid is reduced to stutters as Xander complies. Grant resolves to hire better people and make them do more on the job training. Xander, however, is perfectly pleased to scare poor Beverly the maid witless. Inside, there’s our boy, the suave, plush Swordfish, who is guarding the door and now he’s stumbling through a status update for Kore. While Swordfish is imparting the necessaries, Xander telekinetically opens the door to peek inside, because he’s trying to leave fewer fingerprints on stuff ie. palace cleaning problem. Grant totally misses this and complains at him. Xander brushes him off. As the door opens Xander gets hit by some psychic wave or blast of something and it obviously affects him and only him. After recovering, he invites Grant to come and look inside the door to see how Kore’s doing.
